Colore rubino carico,un pò opaco,poco o niente schiuma(l’ho già notato in altre lambic,dev’essere tipico del genere).Aroma forte:ciliegie,lamponi,sentori di cantina.In bocca è un pò aspra,astringente e agrumata.Molto dolce si sentono appieno i lamponi.Equilibrata perfettamente.Finale lungo.Che dire d’altro? Praticamente la perfezione del genere!

Bottle @ Ölbloggarprovning syd. Ruby color with light pink head. Red berries cherry raspberry sweet and sour nice balance. taste sweet red beeries raspberries sour citrus well balanced.

Bottled. Dark reddish coloured. Unclear. Light reddish head. Raspberries, sweetness, earth and some marcipan in the aroma. Flavour full of earth and raspberries. Acidic touch and sourness with a light sweetish touch. Has some light barnyard notes. Full bodied. Very dry. Sourish fruitsweetness in the end. Very very nice.

Lovely genuine raspberry aroma and even more wondefull flavour, slightly tart, well balanced and extremely fruity. Deep looking, deep tasting and straight up just a pure joy to drink really.

Bottle thanks to Jaxson. Been looking forward to this one for awhile now. Poured a beautiful garnet red with a slight pink head on top. Aroma was funky tart, lots of red berries. The beer is incredibly inviting. Taste was funky and acidic, but not over the top, with tart raspberries and cranberries on the finish. This beer was less acidic than some of the traditional lambic beers I have had. I thought it was really drinkable and incredibly balanced.

Well another badass beer shared by JW77...hell yeah!! Pours a wonderful red color. Small head. Aroma is funky, fruity, tart and really smells a lot like cranberries and sour cherries. So drinking this is quite the experience. It is tart and sour but so fruity. Tingling in the mouth with tons of fruit and funk. Dry on the finish. This isn’t cantillon sour, but it is complex and really nice. Easy to drink. Thanks Jonathan.

A pricey 750 ml bottle that i have been looking forward to for quite a while. Well, here we finally go. Poured into snifter at cellar temp 55F to celebrate rating #500. Upon taking the foil off I can already smell this stuff (cork still in... a synthetic cork too, what the hell is up with that?). Pours a beautiful raspberry ruby red with a slight purple hue and a small pink head that took a bit of aggression to stir up, and which faded pretty quickly to a pink ring. Aroma is very fresh and funky - smells like bitter tart cherries upfront followed by sweet and very enticing fresh raspberries. The typical 3F musty, funky, wild character is there as well, and works great with the fruity aroma. The flavor lacks the sweetness hinted at in the aroma but is still very pleasant. Bitter tart raspberries upfront that lend to the funky barnyard character that follows through the moderately dry and acidic finish. Very well blended. Not one of the IN-YOUR-FACE lambics, but there is much to appreciate in the subtleties and the freshness of the fruity quality of this one. Medium bodied with meidum to minimal carbonation, which to me is PERFECT for this style. Overcarbonation -despite ebing a standard quality for many lambics- is a turn off to me. Overall: this is a beautifully crafted beer. At its price, it is worth purchasing to split with someone, but I am not sure I will ever be having this one again unless it comes to me as a gift. Very glad I invested though to try it at least once. Cheers to 500 more!!

750mL Bottle. 02.14.2007. Flickr(http://www.flickr.com/photos/26049401@N0 Nose is absolutely strong. Tart, dry, funky, and dried cranberries. The merging of fruit and weirdness produces a unique emergence of red currents and vinous black cherries. Flinty. Pours a well clouded dark red and a rosey rim. Flavor is intense. Chewy ghost-like red fruit character. A blood of oranges, fresh cranberries, red currant jelly, plout juice, and some tangy very, very faint acetic nip. Cottony barrel, a bit of white grape juice and some long legs in port-like character. The acids are much, much softer than say a Gueze. Not a huge finish. Pretty quickly heading in to fruit lambic history. But, amazingly delicious with a light nip of almond in the backend.
